Projects

Izabela focuses her physical therapy practice on the rapidly growing specialty of Myofascial Release. Because this approach looks at each patient as a whole and addresses problems that are often overlooked by more traditional therapists and medical practitioners, I wanted WholisticTherapeutics.com to convey the feeling of alternative medicine.

When Brad came to me, he already had a great business card design and logo. I thought the design was very appropriate for the DJ business and that it fit his personality well, so all I had to do was expand on this theme slightly to build his website. I really like the simplicity of BKEntertainment.net.

Zeb wanted to start a web presence for his physical therapy practice which has now expanded into two offices. I used a brochure that he already had designed to come up with the content for this site and as influence for the overall look of the site. He now needs his second office added to this site and I have some ideas for improvements, so I still consider ExcellCare.net a work in progress.

The owner of this retirement community condo wanted to advertise on Craigslist, the local newspaper, and other real estate listing sites. Even Craigslist only allows for four low quality photos, so they needed a place to host more pictures of this beautiful condo so that interested buyers could take a virtual tour. I designed LutherVillageCondo.com to coordinate with the condo for sale as well as the village campus in which it resides.

World Dance Registry

The first version of WorldDanceRegistry.com was recently used to host online registration for an event. The challenge here was to create an attractive skin that would set it apart from other sites of this type, with emphasis on making it clean and intuitive for the end user.

Many new registration features got implemented in this version of WorldDanceRegistry.com, and the skin got a fresh overhaul, which is almost done. This new version is designed to challenge the highest standards for online registration, and will soon host registration for many events.

The goal of TrademarksChicago.com was to resemble a simple one-page ad out of the Yellow Pages. Many sites that look like this are made out of one big image file, or depend heavily on large images. This site however has barely any image content. This look was created using only XHTML/CSS techniques. One of the advantages of using this technique is that all of the text is searchable by Google and other search engines. In my opinion, this is the most important factor in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), which improves organic search placements.

Under Construction

Theresa generously shares law advice to people looking for info on Intellectual Property Law, Employment Law, Immigration Law, and more. I put her content into BlogEngine.NET, which is an ASP.NET content management system, so that she can take over the management of her site. I will soon give Illinois-Lawyers.com a brand new custom skin.

The next project on my list is StarEventSystems.com. This custom built ASP.NET web application is a powerful content/business management and e-commerce system designed especially for dance conventions. As you can see, it has no styling yet, but it will soon get a clean and lightweight skin that will lend itself to one of my primary design goals: make the application intuitive for the end user.
